In a strategic move, Wolves decided to loan out Hugo Bueno to Feyenoord for the season to provide the defender with more playing time and opportunities.
During the recent summer transfer window, Gary O’Neil orchestrated loan deals for six players, dispersing talent across Europe to enhance their development. Most of the loaned players were prospects from the academy or seldom-used squad members, except for Bueno, a surprising departure from the first team.
After losing his spot in the starting lineup at Wolves due to the rise of Rayan Ait-Nouri, Bueno sought to reignite his career by joining Feyenoord in the Eredivisie. Despite being a valuable asset for Wolves, earning the approval of O’Neil, Bueno needed to find consistent playing time elsewhere.
Transitioning from being a regular under Julen Lopetegui to a fringe player under O’Neil, Bueno’s move to the Netherlands marked a new chapter in his career. Although his start at Feyenoord was disrupted by an injury, Bueno remains optimistic about his future, emphasizing the positive changes he has experienced, both on and off the pitch.
Speaking about his adjustment from Wolverhampton to Rotterdam, Bueno highlighted the vibrant atmosphere of his new surroundings, noting the differences in lifestyle and football style. His loan spell at Feyenoord not only offers him a platform to compete at a high level but also presents an opportunity to showcase his skills in the Champions League, setting the stage for his potential return to Wolves with enhanced experience and form.
As Bueno aims to make a significant impact during his loan stint at Feyenoord, his success in the Eredivisie will hold considerable importance for Wolves, shaping his future role at the club upon his return.
